Listing broker remarks

Affectionately known as the Reda Family Home, 80 Oakdale Avenue once served as the parish rectory for St. Luke’s Church. Set on a pretty, large level lot in the heart of Oakdale Square, this early-1900s colonial offers a warm, inviting floor plan and timeless character throughout. The welcoming foyer with stained glass windows and built in benches leads to a gracious living room and a dining room featuring built-in china cabinets and working pocket doors. The fully applianced kitchen includes gas cooking and convenient bar seating, making it a natural gathering spot. The updated powder room rounds out the floor. The second floor offers four well-proportioned bedrooms and a modern full tiled bath. A walk-up attic provides exceptional expansion potential — imagine a stunning primary suite, a family room, or a quiet home office. Enjoy outdoor living on both the front and back porches, perfect for hosting friends and family. As a bonus, you’ll be the go-to house for Flag Day parade celebrations, BBQs, and neighborhood get-togethers. This location is unbeatable: walk to the commuter rail, all local schools, the Endicott Estate, and Oakdale Common, which hosts live band concerts and community events throughout the year. Open House Saturday 11-1 and Sunday 1-2:30— Donahue Real Estate Co. Inc.
